COWS AND AUTUMN HAZE

Around the place where I like to go for walks (8 minutes walk from my home), close to the vineyards and the French border, there's a field with a herd of beautiful cows (Hérens cows) and their babies that graze peacefully. It's always mind puzzling when you think that only a few kilometers away from the center of the town of Geneva, there's nothing else than small villages and fields. This town is so small that the countryside is never too far. You can get out of the urban agglomerations within minutes!

Thanks to the fact that Geneva isn't one of those immense metropolis, everybody has access to a natural environment and has the opportunity to discover the countryside. Whether you walk by foot, take the bus or drive your car, it is always at a decent reach...

I hope that you'll enjoy those photos and may they make you dream (click on the pictures to enlarge).

I look forward to your Friday countryside photos, Rosa...as a farm girl myself, I have great appreciation for nature and I could gaze at your photos for hours, imagining going for walks there myself. These cows look so healthy and fat! And of course, with all of that lush green grazing, its no wonder! Just beautiful. :-)
